Session 6 Report (1/19/2020)
General Summary
The players have just fled Tolinheim. After receiving a note that they were in danger and that they should leave they listened and left in the middle of the night. They camped a bit outside of town to finish their night's rest and headed towards Myrrha Harbor.
Upon reaching the city they noticed that it is much older looking that the other towns they had visited. A lot of it, at least on the outskirts, looked abandoned or very much run down. They also noticed that smaller races, like halflings and gnomes, were being kept in camps outside the main city wall, probably as slaves.
Inside the city, they ran into Bando, Geva of the Cyr Syndicate's assistant. He recommended a place to stay and invited them to a meeting of the regional leaders taking place in a few days.
While the group rested and decided whether or not to attend the meeting they read Hardarar's journal that they had found in the mountains. It spoke of an ancient ruin that he suspects is from a past time long before Parr was "discovered". He thinks that there is an artifact inside of the ruins that hold secrets to planar travel. There is no readable note in the journal about whether or not he was ever able to open the chamber and recover the artifact. To keep it a secret he shrouded the ruins in an invisibility field and left the spell needed to locate the ruins inside of the journal.
Using her familiar, Nigel, Mysestra scouted back to Tolinheim. Upon arriving she witnesses an airship with wizards and stone constructs sieging the city from above. Many of the buildings looked destroyed including Om's house and the shop that they had visited while there.
The next day, word had spread to Myrrha Harbor about the attack and worry spread about the city being attacked next. Guards, accompanied by a man named General Bascon of the True Order, urged the group to relocate to the keep where they would be safe until the conference of the regional leaders.
Hastergas of the League of Menhet led the meeting. The leaders of the other factions and other nobles were in attendance. Hastergas officially announced the formation of the Menhet Federation to unite the factions and towns.
General Bascon interrupted the meeting as he transformed from his undercover facade as Geva Dayton. Om Luri, who was in attendance, and Selma of the Sails of Indus also transformed into wizards. Bascon requested a change in leadership and killed Hastergas and Akeem of the Noba Consortium, making their second in commands in charge. He formally announced the existence of the now Aekron Order and seized control of the Sea of Bandari. They "bent the knee" so to speak and the group dispersed to finalize plans to deal with the Empire's invasion.
Bascon spoke with the group and sent them on a quest that could tip the balance in the Order's favor. They were to take control of a mine that is, as intel suggests, mining crystals that can enhance a magic user's powers and selling them to the Empire.
They departed via ship to a port close to where the mine is supposed to be. Accompanying them were Major Ficeroy of the Order and Hector of the Sails of Indus.
In the middle of the night, the group was ambushed in their quarters by two assassins who came inches away from killing Eilaris before getting killed themselves. With no power to heal, Lurik went to get Ficeroy to help. He then went upstairs to get a sailor with medical training. When Ficeroy failed to return, Lurik went on deck to find him dead and Hector and his troops at attention. Hector remarked that he won't submit to just anyone and put the group in the brig.
They arrived at a small island that looks like nothing but mangroves in the sea with a small dock extending out of the trees/bushes. Dock gently winds through the mangroves until it reaches a small bit of dirt above the sea level. Surrounding the land are 6 huts on stilts, 4 of which have bars like jail cells. The group is tossed in one and told they will be released once the Order and the Empire are dealt with and they won't be able to get in the way. There is an old man in the cell with them.
Until next time!
